X-SENSE XC01-R (01) PDF Document

The Test/Silence button on the X-SENSE XC01-R is used to test the unit’s electronics and to silence the unit during an alarm. For weekly testing, a short beep indicates the alarm has entered the test mode when you short press the test button.

If you press the Test button during an alarm state on the X-SENSE XC01-R, the unit will enter the silence mode.

The X-SENSE carbon monoxide alarm is programmed to sound an alarm at the following CO concentrations within the time periods listed:

• 30 ppm over 120 minutes
• 50 ppm for 60–90 minutes
• 100 ppm for 10–40 minutes
• 300 ppm for 0–3 minutes

The effects on adults for different levels of CO poisoning are shown in the table below:

When CO is detected and the alarm sounds, the CO concentration will be displayed on the LCD and a blue backlight will be lit. The LED indicator will flash red and the alarm will issue 4 short beeps, repeating the cycle every 5.8 seconds.

If the battery voltage is low, the unit will chirp once and the LED indicator will flash yellow every 60 seconds to indicate the need for battery replacement. If you press the test button when there is a low battery, the low battery signal will temporarily cease for 10 hours; if you press the test button again, the unit will enter the test mode and then the standby mode.

Once the maximum lifetime (10 years) is reached, the alarm will deliver 3 beeps and the LED indicator will flash yellow 3 times every 60 seconds. This end-of-life signal can be temporarily silenced for 22 hours by pressing the test button. The end-of-life silence feature can only be used for a total of 30 days. After 30 days, the end-of-life signal cannot be silenced. During this end-of-life hush period, your alarm continues monitoring CO and provides protection as usual.

For installing a CO alarm in a room with a fuel-burning appliance:

• If it is mounted on a wall, it should be installed at a height greater than the height of any door or window, but should still be at least 150 mm (5.9 inches) below the ceiling.
• The CO alarm should have a horizontal distance between 1 m (3.3 feet) and 3 m (10 feet) from any potential CO source.
• If there is a partition in the room, the CO alarm should be installed on the same side of the partition as the potential CO source.

For installing the CO alarm in a bedroom or room without a fuel-burning appliance:

• Mount the CO alarm relatively close to the breathing zone of the occupant.
• Install the alarm such that the LED indicator is viewable when the occupant is near the alarm.

To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide optimum performance and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms, do not locate CO alarms in the following areas:

• In garages or in any extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.
• Where there is the possibility of smoke or fumes under normal operating circumstances.
• In poorly ventilated kitchens, garages and furnace rooms. Keep the CO alarms at least 1.5 m (5 feet) from potential smoke or fume sources (e.g. stoves, furnaces, water heaters, space heaters) if possible.
• In areas where a 1.5 m (5-foot) distance from a potential smoke or fume source is not possible. In modular, mobile or smaller houses, it is recommended the CO alarm be placed as far from any potential smoke or fume sources.
• Within 1.5 m (5 feet) of any cooking appliance.
• In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at least 3 m (10 feet) from a bath or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room or other sources of high humidity.
• In areas where the temperature is colder than 4.4°C (40°F) or hotter than 37.8°C (100°F). For example, non-air-conditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches and garages.
• Where the air is turbulent, such as near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioner vents, fresh air return vents, or open windows. Excessive air flow may prevent any CO from reaching the sensors.
• In direct sunlight.

To activate the X-SENSE XC01-R device, you will need to pull out the battery insulating film before powering on and activating the device. Before use, pull out the battery insulating film from the battery compartment to power on the device. After the device is turned on, the buzzer will beep once, the LCD backlight will light up, and the LED indicator will flash through 8 cycles (yellow/green/red). The device will then enter standby mode.

The steps for wall mounting are:

1. Choose a suitable installation location by referring to the “Where to Install” section.
2. Remove the indication sticker from the packaging and refer to the hole locations on the sticker. Draw two screw holes according to the size and layout of the mounting holes on the back of the product. Drill the screw holes 30 mm (1.18 inches) deep using a Ø 6.0 mm (1/4-inch) drill bit. Note that the distance between the center of the two holes is 74 mm (2.9 inches).
3. Insert the anchor plug into the screw hole and hammer it in until the head of the anchor plug is flush with the wall.
4. Use the two provided screws or 3.5 × 25 mm countersunk screws to screw into the two anchor plugs. Be sure to leave a 5 mm (1/5-inch) gap between the head of the anchor plugs and the screws, which will allow for easy device mounting.
5. Mount and lock the device onto the wall by aligning the two mounting slots on the back of the device with the screws on the wall.
6. Test the device by pushing the test button to make sure that the device is functioning properly.

The base of the detector has two feet built into the design that allow it to stand freely on a flat surface. When placing on a shelf, please adhere to the recommended placement as described in “Where to Install.”

For the X-SENSE XC01-R, push the test button to perform the alarm test. The device response includes: The device beeps 4 times twice, and the LED will flash red. The LCD will display “—,” “PAS,” the peak CO concentration recorded since the previous reset, and finally “0.” This indicates that the device is functioning properly.

During the 5 seconds when the LCD displays the peak CO concentration on the X-SENSE XC01-R, press and hold the test button for 3 seconds. The device will beep, the LED will flash green, and the peak CO concentration will be reset with LCD displaying “0.”

What to do when the alarm sounds for the X-SENSE carbon monoxide alarm:

1. Call emergency services as soon as possible.
2. Immediately move outside and make sure that everyone inside the house has evacuated the area or has access to fresh air. Do not re-enter the house until it has been aired out and your alarm remains under normal condition. If it is not possible to move outside, stay close to an open door/window until emergency service responders arrive.
3. After following steps 1-2 above, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-2 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment.
4. If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment that has not been inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.

To keep your alarm in good working order, you should adhere to the following steps:

1. Test the alarm once a week by pressing the test/silence button.
2. Vacuum the alarm cover once a month to remove any accumulated dust.
3. Never use detergents or solvents to clean the alarm. Chemicals can permanently damage or temporarily contaminate the sensor.
4. Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the alarm.
5. Do not paint the unit. Paint may clog the openings to the sensing chamber and prevent the unit from operating properly.

When the LCD displays the “Lb” message and the LED indicator flashes yellow once every 60 seconds with the buzzer chirping on the X-SENSE XC01-R, remove the old battery and replace it with a CR123A or CR2/3A battery (a Huiderui CR123A or Pairdeer CR2/3A battery is recommended). After changing the battery, the buzzer will beep once, the LCD backlight will light up, and the LED indicator will flash through 8 cycles (yellow/green/red). Reinstall your alarm and test it by pressing the test/silence button. Rechargeable batteries are not recommended for use with this device.
